After discovering her, Nanba pulls Mizuki aside, and with the other dorm heads, confronts her about the incident in the dojo. Realising
she must feel attacked, Nanba eventually talks to her in private, and Mizuki tells him the truth about her gender. Nanba takes it well,
telling her he felt he knew all along, and she tells him why the situation came about, tells him about Sano. Nanba asks if Sano knew,
and Mizuki begins to deny it until Sano burts in, telling them he knew about her being female all along. Mizuki runs away, but Sano
chases after her and catches her. The two head to the roof to talk.
Sano explains how he found out when he picked her up after she was knocked out by Nakatsu on the soccar field, so long ago. Mizuki
asks why he didn't say anything, and Sano admits he was afraid she'd leave...He tells her he doesn't care who she is, he'll be by
her side forever. Elsewhere, Himejima and Tennouji are freaking out at Nanba's lackadaisical attitude towards Mizuki's discovered
feminity. Mizuki and Sano return, hand in hand. The council is still indecisive, so Nanba asks what Mizuki wants...and she wants
to graduate with everyone from high school. The council finally agrees to let things go on as they have been.
At the nearby all-girls school, Hibari notices Kanna isn't quite herself, and she and the other girls get the truth out of her: that
Tennouji had confessed to seeing another female's body! Meanwhile, Mizuki is having problems talking like a girl in front of Sano (in
Japan, there is gender-specific language for referring to oneself). The next day, she glomps Umeda and proceeds to tell him that the
others have found out about her being female, of course giving the poor doctor a near heart attack.
Later, Mizuki and Sano think about going on a date after seeing Noe on a date with Erika. Sano tells Mizuki not to pressure herself
into using female words; that they shouldn't speed into their relationship. Elsewhere, Noe returns to the dorms and meets up with
Sekime, telling him about the strange rumour he heard from Erika: that there's a female classmate hidden at Osaka! The rumour spreads
like wildfire, and Mizuki begins to feel a lot of pressure. But Nanba and Himejima discover that Tennouji has leaked the story,
prompting the rumours. The dorm council decides it's time to get serious about the issue...
